Leaving The Country After Divorce

Noticing that Lucian still had a look of guilt in his eyes, Roxanne pursed her lips and held his hand as she added, “Nothing like that will happen to Essie ever again.”

“We’ll do our best to protect Essie too!” Archie and Benny chimed in.

The look in Lucian’s eyes softened up a little after he heard that, much to Roxanne’s relief.

“Maybe I should bring Essie over to my place for the day. She has been through quite a lot today,” she suggested.

Roxanne could tell that Estella was still unable to accept Sonya, so she was worried that Lucian’s decision to have Sonya stay over at the manor would affect Estella’s emotional state.

Estella wrapped her arms tightly around Roxanne’s neck upon hearing that as she wanted to stay with her.

However, Lucian did not approve of Roxanne’s suggestion. “Take her to the bedroom and get some rest. Essie won’t pay too much attention to anything else with you around.”

Roxanne was a little hesitant to do so, but Estella nodded profusely in agreement.
